NSF I-Corp Program

Mission Statement

Our I-Corps Sites Program offers specialized training and mini-grants to teams with interest in exploring the commercial viability of their ideas for products and businesses that are based on their own inventions, University intellectual property, or any STEM-related technology. Grantees will embark on commercialization of new technologies, products and processes that arise from the institution. Develop formal, active, local innovation ecosystems that contribute to a large, national network of mentors, researchers, entrepreneurs and investors and encourages collaboration between academia and industry.
